I discovered Kolibri through the Brazilian YouTuber Cogumelando, who played it during a livestream. He said it was unfairly difficult and that it wasn't very good. You play as a hummingbird and you go through stages that seem to be inspired by Latin America and Africa. The sprites and backgrounds look photorealistic.

Somehow the second level makes me think of the water stages in E.V.O.: Search for Eden, which I adore. Apidya is an Amiga game, but with anime graphics and it even has a logo written in katakana. You may wonder if it truly is Japanese. It's not... the devs just wanted people to think that they were from Japan. And despite what the title screen shows, it's not a sequel either. The soundtrack is pretty cool too. Lastly, there is Agony (unusual name). It was also released on the Amiga and in it you play as a bird creature that looks like an owl. The graphics in this one are reminiscent of Kolibri's. [MEDIA=youtube]PAPlKz_VUm0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
